See your construction site clearly. Decide with confidence.
Capture reality. Align teams. Deliver with certainty.
Sphere XG, powered by FARO HoloBuilder, gives project teams a clear, structured visual record of what is happening on site. Through consistent 360° reality capture, teams gain confidence in their decisions, improve collaboration and reduce the risk of missed details, rework and disputes.
Why Sphere XG (HoloBuilder)?
Construction projects are complex, fast-moving and under constant pressure. Traditional reports, photos and site notes often fail to reflect real site conditions accurately.
Sphere XG changes this by making site reality visible, repeatable and easy to understand. Every capture is organised from the start, allowing teams to find what they need, when they need it, without relying on guesswork or incomplete information.
The result is clearer communication, fewer site visits and better-informed decisions across the project team.
Data from all of your sources
Experience a seamless capture workflow from FARO devices, or simply import your data in industry standard file formats.
All of your data in one place
Process, view, share and analyze all your reality capture data in a single cloud environment.
Your data always available
Access your data from any device with an internet connection, at any time, while ensuring data security and availability.
Make better decisions, faster
Obtain actionable insights to make quicker, data-backed decisions about your projects and facilities.
From a builder’s perspective, being able to walk the site remotely, catch issues before they cost money – that’s next-level.
– Nathan York, Managing Director | York Brothers Construction
Capture, manage, collaborate and progress like never before
Quick and easy workflows enable any team member to pick up our JobWalk App and capture the jobsite in minutes.
Your digital construction site
The HoloBuilder/Sphere XG Digital Reality Platform allows your stakeholders to gain remote access to your jobsites with full 3D context.
Built to solve your unique problems
Whether you’re an AEC professional, O&M team, or geospatial expert, Sphere XG supports you in accelerating progress, enhancing accuracy, and ensuring project success from start to finish.
Architecture, Engineering & Construction
Build Smarter, Collaborate Better
Sphere XG helps AEC teams keep track of progress, make sure installations are correct, and make sure the plan matches what actually happened. This cuts down on rework and makes teamwork better.
Operations & Maintenance
Optimising Every Space
To keep buildings running easily and efficiently, facility teams use Sphere XG to keep track of assets, plan maintenance, and speed up renovations with accurate, visual documentation.
Geospatial
Visualise, Map, and Plan with Precision

New features and improvements for Sphere XG.
FARO developers released a small firework of new features and improvements for Sphere XG.
Here are some highlights
- Bidirectional integration of RFI’s and Issues into ACC is fully deployed
- Project and Search Filter
- Intuitive waypoint management
Technology
New features – ACC Integration
Now open Beta
Connecting Sphere XG to Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) has never been easier.
- Activate integrations directly in your project settings.
- Create Issues in Sphere XG → see them instantly in ACC (bidirectional sync).
- Sync Issues (with ACC Docs) or RFIs (with ACC Build). Result: Faster coordination, fewer silos, and streamlined workflows.
New feature – Facility Management
360° Capture as the first step to your Digital Twin
Facility Managers increasingly seek a visual overview of their assets, installations, and conditions. While creating precise 3D models is often outside budget, 360° captures with Sphere XG provide the ideal starting point.
A recent ZHAW Bachelor Thesis confirms: 360° photography delivers measurable value for inventory, maintenance, planning, and communication—helping Facility Managers prepare for full digital twin adoption cost-effectively.
New feature – Export Deviation
Reports as PDF
Deviation analyses in Sphere XG can now be exported as shareable, professional PDF reports. Perfect for audits, documentation, and seamless communication with stakeholders.
